do it yourself

Hey vegan friendly community, I wanted to share a simple but awesome gift idea which is cruelty free and of course vegan. I do this much often for birthdays, christmas or when I want to appreciate somebody for helping me out like my neighbours the last time. Because our landlord wanted to renovate our complete bathroom all inclusive for just 2 weeks- now we haven’t had a bathroom till 4 weeks and it takes about 2 more weeks to finish the whole construction area in our appartment- we have to take the showers anywhere else. So we have to go to our neighbours spa temple and we’re so lucky that they’re very kind. I wanted to appreciate their help in the meantime so I did the bath salts/ body scrub for them. Because I also quit my job these days because I want to go travelling a long time I had to say goodbye to my colleagues as well. And guys I could tell you, these where the best you could ever imagine! We where such a great team and helped each other out at any time. We laughed that much the whole day long, it was awesome! So when I leaved I wanted to give them some present. I allways make bath salts which you could also use as a body scrub, because not everyone has a bath tub at home and they have another option using the present.

What you need:

– tea for the scent: I just use tea because it’s all natural and you have great and various options for every season plus it isn’t that expensive and you allways have some at home, right?! 🙂

-> For a good Chai tea bath salt I use the sweet chai tea from Alnatura mixed with vanilla, cinnamon roles, gillyflowers and anise stars. – dead sea salt: For peelings I mix the salts, big and smaller grains of salt but you should think about rubbing them on your skin so there should be more smaller ones in it.

– oils: I use jojoba oil, a bit of vitamin e oil and almond oil. You could also use argan oil, coconut oil…

Tipp: if you have a great smelling massage oil you could of course mix it in the salt as well.

– baking soda: if you just like to have only a bath salt then you should use baking soda as well for the bubbling experience 🙂 – decoration: for decoration you could use the tea alone or cinnamon roles, vanilla, anise, gillyflowers or dried eatable flowers for example.

How it works:

Just put all together and mix it well with a spoon and you’re good to go. It’s that simple and you just need a few minutes to finish such a great present.

I don’t use a scale, I just work with spoons and rub the salt between my fingers for figuring out if it has the best consistence- that’s my indicator 🙂 You mix it best if you use a high jar like shown on the picture. Which scents do like most for bath salts or body scrub?
